Pattern and yarn buying at a LYS was how I started my stint as a knitter...but being in a small town with only a corner of the quilt shop dedicated to yarn left me wanting more. I think I'd like the satisfaction of doing that more though...instant gratification!Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16478839034249164862noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-34589979447006048952010-01-24T08:24:38.306+00:002010-01-24T08:24:38.306+00:00Yep, that's how it was in my childhood too - a...Yep, that's how it was in my childhood too - and it was that way when I knitted my first ever "all by myself" garment (and probably several more after that!) Alas, that LYS is now gone and my local one is the only one for many kilometres! So let's enjoy them while we have them but don't take the <i>Knitternet</i> (or is it <i>Interknit</i>) away!Lynnehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07760744006915967397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-52976137802552573602010-01-21T14:18:48.952+00:002010-01-21T14:18:48.952+00:00Nothing more classic then stripes!

I used to walk over to a shop near my work sometimes, browse a while and then buy then, or go back later for a rethink, then buy a pattern and the wool. I loved it! <br /><br />I distinctly recall finishing a project one day and realising I had nothing to go on with, so got in the car, drove across town, chose new wool and a new pattern and drove back home. How quaint!!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5422935940416214468.post-61022262295337461232010-01-20T02:27:05.502+00:002010-01-20T02:27:05.502+00:00I've disappeared down the rabbit hole of knitt...I've disappeared down the rabbit hole of knitting baby clothes too. So many friends having babies, and there's something irresistible about the small project size, and the fact that fit doesn't matter much - it will always fit the baby at some point.<br /><br />I didn't thank you properly for the yarn you sent. It arrived between Christmas and New Year's, and got me very excited. I haven't decided what to make yet. I may just pet it for a while longer!
